Naruto: The Lost Family

"You are Uzumaki Tomoki, right? The head of the family has been waiting for you for a while."

A white-haired old man stood at the door, glanced at Uzumaki Tomoki and said.

With that said, the old man didn't wait for Uzumaki Tomoki's reply, then turned around and walked towards the yard.

Zhi Shu simply followed him.After stepping over the stone steps and entering the courtyard, Zhishu couldn't help but feel deeply for such a delicate and simple courtyard.

"In Konoha, although many places still retain the original housing structure, the only ones that are so well preserved are the big families..."

However, the old man who was leading the way couldn't help but proudly said after hearing Zhishu's words,

"That's right, this courtyard has existed since I was young. It is said that construction started here when the first generation of adults chose the place to build the village. It can be said that this is the first batch of buildings in the village. .”

Tomoki also nodded. After all, the time of the first generation was considered a long time ago for this not-so-distant ninja world.

But this is the case in the qualified world. Large families maintain ancient architectural styles and lifestyles.

But new life is filling the village, including electric lights, magazines, or pictures of beautiful women.

Many times, Zhishu feels deeply incomprehensible to this world where modernity and ancient times merge.

But living in it has a different kind of fun.

The old man didn't seem talkative at first, but at this time, it seemed as if Uzumaki Tomoki diverted the topic away from him.Once you open your mouth, you can't hold it back.

He turned his head and glanced at Uzumaki Tomoki,

"Speaking of which, there are very few people from other families who can come here. Especially at your age, I'm afraid you should have achieved quite a lot, right? It's a pity that I no longer care about the situation in the outside world, otherwise there would be many more things Go talk.”

Since the old man in front of him didn't mean anything against him.Of course Zhi Shu also looked polite, "No, I just did some trivial things."

"You don't have to be too modest, but your name is Uzumaki Tomoki...are you from the Uzumaki clan?"

The old man frowned slightly, as if he was trying to remember something.

"Yes, but there are only a few people in the clan now, and they are scattered everywhere."

"Oh, speaking of which, you are not the first Uzumaki clan member to set foot here. I remember that more than 30 years ago, people from the Uzumaki clan often came to Konoha at that time. Even the Hyuga clan invited you Our ancestors came to visit. Ahem, it’s another old and rotten millet thing.”

The old man seemed to realize that what he said was too long ago.Even from this sound, you can hear some decayed smell.

But for Zhi Shu, that was something new.

Speaking of which, at that time, there was no incident where several countries were afraid of the power of the Uzumaki clan and joined forces to destroy the Uzumaki clan.

On the contrary, many countries were afraid of the Uzumaki clan at that time, and I am afraid that it was the heyday of the Uzumaki clan.

Communicating with Konoha and being invited to visit the hinterland of the Hyuga clan should be considered normal things.

"Okay, that's it. The master of the house is waiting for you inside, and it's time for me to go out."

As he said that, the road paved with bluestone bricks had reached the end, and in front was a traditional Japanese room.

After all, many of the rooms in the village now are Western-style rooms.

However, unlike the Earth that existed before Tomoki, the Western-style rooms in Konoha were not the product of cultural invasion.

It is the result of the fusion of the village of Konoha and the cultures of other countries around it.

.

"Thank you very much for telling me some things about your family that I don't know much about."

Although the old man in front of him only spoke a small part of the story, Tomoki still expressed his gratitude to the old man out of politeness.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I can find such a young junior who is willing to listen to such a long time ago. I like you very much as a junior."

With that said, the old man turned and left.

Zhi Shu was stunned for a moment, with a slight smile on his lips.

"It seems that the Hyuga clan is not filled with conflicts everywhere..."

"of course not."

Just as Zhishu was thinking, a harsh voice interrupted his thoughts.

Zhishu turned around and looked,

Whoops!

The paper door of the wooden shelf was opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a white kimono stood upright behind the door.

Day to day feet!

"Uzumaki Tomoki, come in."

Zhi Shu remained silent because he felt that no matter what title he used to address the other party, it was inappropriate.

At least now it seems that Hinata and Hinata have not openly expressed their dissatisfaction with themselves.

Nor did he directly deny his opinions.

However, for the current Tomoki, whether Hinata and Hinata are an enemy is a question.

Even if there is a fundamental contradiction between them.

Therefore, even if the person opposite him is older, Toshu cannot call him uncle, but he can be called uncle.It is very possible that Hinata and Hinata are not a friendly existence to him.

Of course, due to politeness, it is even more impossible for Tomoki to directly call the person opposite him by his name.

So Zhishu thought for a moment, stopped calling him, took off his shoes directly outside the paper door, and walked in.

"Hojicha, powdered tea, or sencha?"

It was rare. Tomoki originally thought that Hinata Hizu would entertain him with a tea ceremony, but she didn't expect that he would directly ask for his opinion.

However, Chishu didn't know anything about the classification of these teas.

And at least for now, Tomoki has no feeling at all for drinks like tea.

Most people like tea, generally there are two types, one is because it is elegant and elegant.

Or maybe it’s to enjoy the peaceful and far-reaching atmosphere.

There are actually very few people who really know how to taste tea and love tea.

At least now, Tomoki doesn't like tea as a drink.

But when he heard Hinata Hiashi actually asking for his opinion, Tomoki subconsciously said,

"Is there any sake?"

"..."

Hinata Hizu was obviously stunned for a moment, standing on the seat, and it took him a long time to react.

(Xiju, transliterated as tatami. I’m afraid everyone is more familiar with this name. However, I think the former is more appropriate, so I use Xiju here.)

"What? Don't you want to try these teas?"

Zhi Shu shook his head, "Forget it, I don't like tea, and I don't have the ability to taste it. Sake is just right. However, since we have to talk about something soon, it's better to have plum sake, which is warm and comfortable."

"Well...it's rare to see people who express their opinions openly in front of me."

As he spoke, Hinata turned to another carved cabinet, on which there were many white jade-like porcelain wine bottles.
